  4. When I create a new effort, after setting the Start time I'd like not to set the end time I'd prefer to set a period of time from the start event.
    e.g. add 1:45 to the start time.

  5. Currently the email is stored as a .eml file which does not integrate well with Outlook as it drops crucial information like To/From/BCC, has encoding issues, and more.

    Supporting Outlook's msg format would allow users to drag & drop emails into Task Coach, then when it's time to act on those emails (reply/forward) the attachment can simply be double-clicked and acted upon.

  6. If there are many reminder windows open, they all look the same when cycling through with Alt-Tab (they say "Task Coach Reminder"). Including the task name in the title bar would help the user choose the right one.

  7. There has already been a suggestion about font sizes and a note to say that this was dealt with in release 0.78, but I don't think that change really addressed the issue, at least not the one that I have.

    As far as I can see, Task Coach only allows you to change the font that's used in the Task view. I would like to be able to change the font that's used when I edit a task. I particularly want the "Description" text to be larger because I use this to store notes about the task, although I don't…

  8. Add in an extra start date column so that I can specify the planned start date, and the actual start date. For evidence of project progress (e.g. how much it overrun by!)

  9. I like to sit down in the morning and go through my list for the day, but things that have start times later in the day don't show up if I filter only "active" items, whereas if I don't, then I get bunches of things that I don't even plan to start for days. I'd like to be able to show, essentially, anything that will be active today, but it could also be useful to show things that will be active before tomorrow, this workweek, etc. (the same options in the filter by due date list, essentially).

  10. E.g. Books/Book icon - my parent task has the Books one, and the child tasks have the Book one, despite me entering the Books icon in Features. I'd like my parent/child task to have the same icon, but I can't change it. I thought this was a bug, and logged on to report it, but I see someone else reported something similar and the response was that this was a feature, not a bug. This is fantastic software, by the way - well done!

  11. As above - if this were increased then more tasks would show as up and coming rather than inactive.

  12. When adding an attachment to a task, every subsequent adding of an attachment defaults back to the installation path of taskcoach. This can be a bit annoying if you want to attach multiple files to a task. Ideally it should remember the last attachment path per task.

  14. I'd like to filter the subset of tasks I'm working on;
    as easily as i can filter out Completed tasks.

    Today, a task has Two states: Not 'completed' / 'Completed'

    You could add the new state 'Active'
    thus a task would have 3 states:
    'Completed' , 'Active' Default: 'inactive'

  15. main task gets completed automatically when all subtasks are completed. should be configurable so that main tasks can be manually set to complete when desired.

  16. Up to the TC version 1.0.10 (OS Windows) the stop time in effort windows was re-assigned to current time when the check box was re-checked.
    Could you put this feature back on ?
    Thanks !

  17. Windows mobile, iphone-pad, Android, ... there are too many mOSs to sync to. I take a simpler approach. I output text and html files to Dropbox and pick them up from my various mobile devices. Lowest common denominator. Making this work with fewer steps, and allowing import to TC from Dropbox would be really cool. I can be more detailed if there is enough interest.

  18. I'd find it useful and more clearly arranged, if it were possible to give tasks and subtasks a different font. Actually all activated tasks have the same font.

  19. I would love the ability to expand / collapse all tasks in the task tree. My list is getting pretty unwieldy and I need and quick and easy way to remove and add back all the detail with a single click.

  20. Can you have a setting for the default time on (start/Due/Reminder) It defaults to 23:59. If you forget to set it the event is missed instead of perhaps too early.
